The Beauty of Blending Wines
Ecclesiastes 9:7 says, 'Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.
' indeed, drinking wine for many is not just consuming a regular beverage.
It can be a truly wonderful experience that it can give them 'a joyful heart' when taking a sip or two (or more) of it.
In fact, wine appreciation is an art form for many wine drinkers, especially the connoisseurs and the aficionados.
For some, their appreciation of wine extends beyond drinking one wine variety, so they blend one with another.
In the world of commercial wine, blending wines has been a practice for many years now not only among professional winemakers, but is also being tried by those who fall under the 'fledgling' winemakers category.
The resulting blend can taste more exquisite and complex than the sum of its parts, which is you'll now see different varieties of wine blends commercially available out there.
One of the most popular wine blends is that excellent combination of two of the most widely known and sought-after red wines - Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Just like with a lot of things, however, combining two things can produce a good or bad outcome.
Hence, if you wish to wine blending on your own at home, be sure that you know what you're doing, or at least know what kind of wine blend you wish to come up with.
For example, adding so much of one into the mixture can result in a blend that you won't even drink yourself after taking the first sip.
Since the possibilities are endless when it comes to blending one wine with another, you can easily slip into that over-the-top experimentation of combining different wines, only to come up with a result that will make the drinker regurgitate what he has drunk.
The beauty and advantage of blending wines properly is the potential to add more complexity to the resultant blend.
It can add multiple flavors and aromas that can titillate the senses of the drinker.
Needless to say, it enhances the experience of wine appreciation, especially if the person sipping it is tasting the blend for the very first time.
Another benefit of blending wines is achieving great balance in terms of aspects like acidity, color, and alcohol content.
Although some wines can stand on their own with regard to these aspects, some either lack in or have too much of something.
Ergo, blending them with another can achieve perfect balance.
Take your wine appreciation to a different high by having a taste of wine blends.
